PDP, NC, Congress mulling "grand alliance" in J&K
“A grand alliance with PDP, NC and Congress as partners is also an option… to form a stable government and also fulfill the aspirations of all the regions of the state,” said PDP spokesman Naeem Akhtar.
Sources said PDP leader Mehbooba Mufti will meet Governor NN Vohra on Wednesday to discuss government formation.
Vohra also invited the BJP for talks.
Earlier, Omar Abdullah of the National Conference had tweeted: “And now it’s a PDP, NC & Cong grand alliance! Serious proposal or more mind games to give the BJP decision makers sleepless nights?” Abdullah had resigned as chief minister last week.
The PDP won 28 seats in the assembly elections followed closely by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) which could bag 25 seats. The National Conference won 15 seats and the Congress 12. Smaller parties and Independents won seven in the 87-member assembly in Jammu and Kashmir.
